Which mechanism reduces the tensile strength of graphene under prolonged oxidation?

💡 Explanation

Vacancy nucleation occurs at oxidation sites, because weakened C-C bonds break under stress, aggregating into vacancies therefore reducing tensile strength, rather than altering carbon hybridization. This creates holes rather than preventing failure.
